tires

About time for some new tires. The last 2 sets were Bridgestone spitfires. Rideing a little more curvy roads than usual, interested in any opinions about good tires for my 1976 KZ900 with a little modification.
Thanks

I've been using Pirelli Sport Demons on mine now for about 5 years and really like them. They stick well and last about 7,500 miles (less with aggressive riding). I use 100/90-V-19 up front and 120/90-V-18 on the rear. Be sure to install new tubes. Ed

I'm going with some Michelin Road 4s. They are sport touring tires. The KZ1000 is a heavy machine so I figured it would work out. They are high mileag, grippy tires. Keep in mins I am running 129/70/17 front and 170/60/17 rear
